Scotland Will Host 2009 World Fly Fishing Championships

It's official - the 2009 World Fly Fishing Championships will be hosted by Scotland.

More than 25 countries over seven days of competition are expected to participate in this fly fishing event in Stirling and Perthshire.

Although this even has been hosted by the U.K. before, it's the first time for Scotland. The fly fishing event was held in England in 2000 and 1987 and in Wales in 1990. It was also held in Galway, Ireland in 1995 (which is not part of the U.K.).
